Paying attention to the context of the project site is one of the most important features, during organizing the urban areas, specially those with cultural infrastructure. The placement of the project accesses was one of the most important challenges, during the design process, mainly because of the project location which is out of the urban area.

Two important elements (Imam Khomeini Shrine and Tehran International Exhibition) were located near the site and so obviously, they should have their own impact on the morphology of the main axes, and this is exactly what we did. On the other hand, we had two different types of spaces (the main mass of the museum and the international amphitheater) and we needed an appropriate connection. What is better than a social plaza in a cultural area like this? what kind of joint can act better than this? A place for people to meet each other and create their own kind of atmosphere. So here it is; we added a social plaza between those two masses as the entrance, right at the intersection of the two main accesses.
